Biography

American newspaper publisher, editor, philanthropist, and women's rights activist, she was the scion of an Iowan newspaper publishing family. She and her second husband, Arthur A. Ballantine, purchased two Durango, Colorado newspapers in 1952, which they merged into The Durango Herald by 1960. The couple also started the Ballantine Family Fund, which supported arts and education in Southwest Colorado. After her husband's death in 1975, Ballantine took over the chairmanship of the family-owned publishing company, continuing to produce a weekly column and editorials. She received many journalism awards and several honorary degrees. She was inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame in 2002 and was posthumously inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 2014.

Ballantine married twice and had four children. She died of respiratory failure at her home in Durango on 10 October 2009, aged 84.
